Hydrogeochemical and isotopic methods were used to characterize the quality of groundwater (N=19) belonging to the alluvial aquifer of the Rio Pavas basin in Colombia, to evaluate its origin, renewability, spatial and temporal dynamics. The groundwater flows in a Southeast-Northwest direction, with freshwater characteristics (TSD < 500 mg/L; 5,55 ≤ pH ≤ 7,90) not recommended for human consumption as it exceeds the maximum acceptable microbiological values ​​established by Colombian regulations. It presents Ca2+-Mg2+-HCO3- or Ca2+-Mg2+-Na+-HCO3-facies. The hydrogeochemistry modifying processes are rock dissolution and cation exchange. Stable isotopes indicate the groundwater is formed by meteoric water recharge without evidence of the evaporation effect. Tritium dating shows that groundwater is young water less than 20 years old
